When do you get these errors? When you're doing an amdump (i.e. writing
to the tape)? When you're labeling a new tape? When you're doing a
recovery (reading the tape)? When you're running amcheck (which would
also be reading)? What happens to whatever you're trying to do, i.e.
does Amanda fail in some way?
I think the message is saying some program gave the kernel a buffer that
was smaller than the record size reported by the drive (32 KBytes).
Amanda is extremely unlikely to have done that. My first suspicion
would be a kernel or driver buffer management problem. Maybe you could
ask those folks?
